Suspension seating - does it work off road

[BradWill]

Am considering upgrade to my 06 ute seats (2.5 seater ) and am wondering if suspension seating is workable off road or does it have problems bouncing around etc. good or bad -let me know your experience

[threedogs]

I had KAB 411 or something like that as my back is stuffed,{16 Ops} great on the HWY.
Terrible offroad too much travell, Now I have a Strato 3000 with lumber and its great.
You can get Strato seat with suspension base but having had one no, not a fan.
It tends to bump you into roof ala trampoline style every 2nd bump.
XR6 seats or clumsydoor fit ok check threads or Mego will show us His lol

I pulled the suspension seats out of my MK.

If you get seats - eunsure that they are rated for you weight - the ones in the MK (Factory) where only rated to 100K - i weigh 1120 kept bottoming out

[Dominator]

You weigh 1120? That has to be some kind of a record. Haha

i weigh 1120 kept bottoming out

At that weight I would think you would fall through the MK floor! *L*

I was offered the same seats the other day for cheap I'd like to grab them havnt seen much on upgrading the GU seats

Not overly straight forward to fit (mostly coz I couldn't find anywhere that someone had done them and posted the details so had to come up with my own design), but just installed XR6 seats into mine - I weigh in at a very athletic (ahem ... cough, cough) 116kgs, and find them fantastic - fit better than the commodore seats and drove from Hervey Bay to Brissy (Easter traffic - about 5 hours) the day after I did them, and was very pleased with the comfort.

No problem mate - glad you'll "take one" ... after the R&D session working them out (that's about 3 cartons), and the engineering to fabricate (2 cartons) and the install time (2 cartons), you're looking at about $280 a pair!!! lol
